  • Stir in chicken, salsa, green chilies and salt (if using) and cook for 10 minutes and bring to a simmer.
  • Prepare taco shells according to package directions (we heat them in the microwave for about one minute).

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottom saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
  • Add the chicken and stir to coat with the spice mixture. If needed, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to help distribute everything evenly. Remove from the heat and stir in the salsa.
  • Serve tacos on warm tortillas with your favorite toppings! I highly recommend adding a spritz of fresh squeezed lime juice at the end.
  • Optional Toppings: avocado, cilantro, white onions, red onions, shredded red or green cabbage, fresh squeezed lime juice, jalapenos (the site won't let me put this in ingredients).

I had a busy day and came up with this easy recipe for soft tacos. It's good, fast and inexpensive. I usually make two at a time but if you have a tortilla warmer, that will make it easier for everyone to eat at the same time.

Steps:

  • Remove chicken meat and make into bite size pieces, place in a 10-12" skillet.
  • Add salsa to the chicken and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.
  • Place lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream into individual bowls and set aside.
  • Place two tortillas in a brown lunch bag,.
  • close tightly and microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Place 2 tortillas on a plate and add ingredients in any order you like. There is no real way to make a taco.
  • While the first person is making their tacos, heat the second person's tortillas, and so on. This way everyone's food is hot. If you have a tortilla warmer, that would work great.

1 whole roasted deli chicken
1 cup salsa
3 cups lettuce, chopped
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 cups Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup jalapeno (optional)
8 (7 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Mix water and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, and sugar; mix well.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add tomato sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken breasts from the pan and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Return shredded chicken to the pan with the tomato sauce. Cook and stir until chicken is coated with sauce and sauce reduces a bit, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and sauce to a serving bowl and spoon onto taco shells.
